Accountants

Work Context13-2011.01

What distracts you the most when performing your role as an accountant? How do you deal with interruptions?

Frame your response to this line of questioning by giving a snapshot of the type of environment you work in as well as how adaptable you might be when presented with something new. For instance, as the interviewer points out, interruptions are probably frequent for accountants in this environment and they want to confirm that this would not be an issue for you. If you don't have prior experience in an environment like this, frame your answer so that it reflects any similarities in your previous work surrounding. In addition, you have a real opportunity here to voice your flexibility and eagerness to take on new challenges.
